Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 1 very ripe peach, halved, pitted, and thinly sliced
  • 8 fl. oz. seltzer, chilled
  • 2 fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 cup water, sugar, and minced ginger. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Remove the simple syrup from heat, cover, and let it steep for about 30 minutes.
  3. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing the ginger against the sieve to extract the flavor. Discard the ginger and refrigerate the syrup until well chilled.
  4. Evenly distribute peach slices into a tall glass and press lightly with a spoon to release their juice.
  5. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the chilled syrup over the peaches.
  6. Add ice cubes and top with seltzer.
  7. Stir to distribute the syrup, peach juice, and seltzer evenly.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
